Men and the Church (3)

Musing further, it occurs to me that it may be helpful to be able to distinguish between sex and gender in this discussion.

The biological fact of the distinct sexes is affirmed as part of God's creation in Genesis. We can make a distinction between this and gender, by understanding gender as an "individual's self-conception as being male or female, as distinguished from actual biological sex". Disagreements will often arise amongst Christians with regard to what degree or in what way the fact of our sex brings with it, in the light of revelation, moral imperatives concerning our gender.

Scripture affirms the distinct sexes. Does it demand we form particular ideas of gender?

In making this distinction, it seems all the more difficult not to address passages such as Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 11. Are there any other passages which need to be addressed?
